Milan conquered Moscow! Ettore Messina’s team was stormy at the “Megasport Arena” and got an emphatic “double” against that of Dimitris Itoudis (57-67), remaining only third in the Euroleague standings. Armani Milano raised its record to 13-6, CSKA Moscow fell to 12-8.
Emphasis started by Armani who led 9-2 and continued with his foot on the accelerator, closing the first period at +13 (10-23). CSKA paid for the absences of Kleiberg, Hackett in both defense and attack, but tried to counterattack by reducing five minutes before halftime to six points (23-29), and a little later reached the difference in the half basket (33 -34). Nevertheless, Armani managed to go with a small lead at halftime, previous 40-35.
Delaney and Hall took the lead at the start of the second half, bringing the difference back to 9 again (41-50) and remained at that level until the end of the third period (46-55). The defenses hardened, the failure on both sides grew but Armani had already cleared the game (50-63) before relaxing and took the pink card with 67-57 being the final score.
